According to a new report published by Fudzilla, MediaTek could be looking at licensing AMD Graphics for its future SoCs. MediaTek currently licenses Imagination Technologies PowerVR and ARM Mali graphics on its chipsets.
Fudzilla claims to have learnt about the development at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this month. This certainly sounds very interesting as AMD would be making a comeback to ultra-low power graphics market. It is also likely to give MediaTek a huge advantage against its main rival, Qualcomm. MediaTek has been able to increase its market share over the years at the cost of Qualcomm and an agreement with AMD could certainly help it strengthen its foothold in the high-end mobile chipset segment where it has so far struggled to compete against Qualcomm.
Fudzilla report says the AMD graphics team is in constant touch with MediaTek, working together on upcoming SoC graphics solutions. Sadly, there is no info yet on when the first SoCs with AMD graphics will appear, but if the cooperation is indeed real, we can expect to see the first MediaTek chips with AMD Graphics become available sometime next year.
